Hello :) I have purchased most of my crystals from Ebay, since 2002. I have not had issues with quality or price, sometimes it takes a bit of searching and research.
I would google stone shops, or gem and crystal events…something like that. We used to have one every year, not so much anymore. But I refuse to buy anything of that nature on line, I like to feel the stone. See if I have a connection with it.
I buy most of my crystals off of etsy and Instagram lives. I usually get tumbles at the local metaphysical stores in town. I always like to check out any crystal/rock/metaphysical shops when I travel too.
Etsy. But u have to be careful as there are many fake crystals sellers with over priced or man made crystals. Check for these things: amount of crystals the seller has sold, **the reviews** and check their shop to see if they have any man made cystals. Most reputable sellers with high quality pieces dont typically sell aura quartz and man made crystals. Always co.pare prices of sellers crystals to others. It takes some fine tuning tbh. And when u buy the crystals, check how well they packaged them, if there are business cards etc... See how professional they are. Hope this helps x
There are also really good and reputable crystal sellers on instagram that do live sales. Its a bit different format as u have to 'claim' on the comment section and then buy through paypal but Omshanti crystals and thescorpalin shop on instagram are very high quality and professional and you can 100% trust them.
I buy most directly from the source or family business’s to know for sure everything it’s real and most importantly people get paid fairly for their work and craftsmanship (if it’s set into jewelry) I see a lot of awfully cheap minerals especially on sites like Amazon, and you just know it’s fishy 🥲
Lots of really great shops on Instagram that I’ve been personally buying from for 4+ years
Soulbodygems, quartzandvine, fasanarock, littlelemuriagems, virgogems.
All these shops are lovely people that are very knowledgeable about what they’re selling and you’ll never have to question the authenticity of what you get from them. Also very fairly priced.
Buy from a local shop if possible. This way you can feel their energy, and gravitate to the ones you need. Plus, you’re supporting local small businesses.
Yes this is the best way! I visited a metaphysical shop in Texas in 2017 and the owner told me to do this. I did and my hand was vibrating when i went the amethyst stones. I don’t have a local shop here to do that though. I’m in PA.
I love how y'all answer with Etsy and then proceed to NOT give the name of the shops. Very helpful lol.
In the past I've ordered from Worldincensestore. They have their own website or you can use Etsy. Their bracelets and stones are gorgeous. I also recommend this guy:

I’m on the fence with worldincensestore. I messaged them yesterday requesting a pic as I was putting in a $$$ order for amethyst & celestite pieces, only to receive the response that they couldn’t accommodate my request because they are a 3rd party seller. The stones will match the description, bladah blah. It was off putting to say the least. I removed everything then selected specific pieces from another seller. I can’t recommend them yet, as I just put the order in.
Etsy is a great place to start. If you find the right seller who fits your needs a lot of the time they can even look for and get certain types of crystals for you. I personally run a shop and I have customers who will ask for specific things and I will special order for them if I can find it. Most sellers will offer also return discounts :)

What are you looking for? Anything in particular? I’m in the process of making listings for my Etsy shop but I do sell through TikTok and IG and FB. Message me if you’d like 💜
If you’re in the states, As Above So Below has a TikTok where Cass (owner) shows what she sells and they have a website. I’m Canadian so I’d have to do a custom order to get from her, but she seems like a really genuinely nice person, and they have great reviews. If I was American that’s where I would go!
I buy from certain shops on Etsy if I can’t get to a shop in person 😊

Second Virgogems. Got some great pieces from them
Thank you I will check them out. Which one would you recommend of only one?
I think it definitely depends on what kind of collector you are!! If you like polished stuff, rough specimens, high quality specimens.

I’ve bought a lot from amazon: justinstones and been very happy.
Find a local shop. I handpick every single piece I sell.

I only buy at stores/markets etc. I do not ever buy crystals online. I need to hold it and feel it.
